It wasn't a thriller but the Lilywhites stretched their unbeaten run in Championship and Carabao Cup to eight matches.
Here are the PNE player ratings, with Jordan Storey our stand-out player.
9. Daniel Johnson 6
PNE couldn't get him into the game as they normally do, with him not able to be his creative self. Photo: Mick Walker/Camerasport
10. Sean Maguire 6
Worked hard and had a shot across the face of goal early on. Maguire was subbed in the second half. Photo: Mick Walker/Camerasport
11. Emil Riis 6
Squandered a good chance in the first half, putting his shot too close to the keeper. Unpredictable to watch but that can be good fun. Photo: Camerasport
12. Josh Murphy 7
Produced a couple of bursts of pace after joining the action as part of a double change in the 70th minute. Photo: Mick Wlaker/Camerasport
